Trust me, ALL WRONG. DOUBLE FACT etc.

 

Away teams where given seats, United, Liverpool, Everton etc took all the bottom section all the way across, trust me I sat second row on the next block up and the blokes in the row below where always rowing (verbal) with them.

 

I can see it now, 3-0 to us and not one of the fuckers tunred round, eyes and head front.

 

I remember when we beat Munichs 3-0, the owd fella said we are leaving 15 mins early, he said, "it may get silly", no shit, I was 11 :pardon:

Spoke to th eowd fella tonight and rememeber it well.

 

We stayed in the Lever end seats for the first two seasons then went in't Manny Road seats.

 

Away seats went into the Burnden Stand later in the 80's.

Just watched the game and it reaffirmed my opinion of Frank Worthington every thing he did was class the man was a pure silk footballer, how in god's name after scoring 25 goals and a beautiful goal as that infront of the England manager he did not get a call up is unbelievable, it just goes to show the anti bolton bias was even worse then than it is now, Frank Worthington was the real deal a truly class footballer.

Think you must be hallucinating. I had season tickets in the Lever End - no away fans in there.

Just watched it.

 

What a fluid system we played. Big Sam seemed to stay upfront after a corner / free kick for ages, Whatmore and Worthington on the edge of our own area defending, Morgan never moving more than 2 metres in from the touch line, more like 4-2-4.

 

Those were the days.

and then, of course, we promptly went down faster than NoBalls on Kevin Davies

 

 

Would be interesting to know if he is in to that sort of thing, always thought he was more Justin Fashanu's cup of tea - with a trophy wife in tow to cover his tracks =@
